Hello,

Can anyone assist with a regex to pull lottery numbers from a page?
The following is one example I have tried:

All data from the web page is pushed into an array. ( Header and
footer info is removed before being pushed into the array.) The entire
goal here is an exercise I was playing with to produce a report of the
most common winning lottery numbers. What I will need to be able to do
is place the most common 5 numbers  (before the word "powerball") into
an array then place the powerball numbers into another array. Thanks
in advance.

@liners = split /(\s\[0-9],\s)Powerball:\s[0-9]/,$data_string;

_DATA_
22, 29, 35, 46, 52, Powerball: 2, Power Play: 5
1, 31, 38, 40, 53, Powerball: 42, Power Play: 2
6, 16, 18, 29, 37, Powerball: 24, Power Play: 2
